Description: Strong downburst winds associated with a severe thunderstorm flip a several ton cargo shipping container up the side of a hill. The two images above provide slightly different perspectives of the same container, you will note a second green container at the base of the hill and indentations in the ground showing where the now flipped container had been sitting prior. Visit http://www.vaughanweather.com/chase/04_23_07.html for more images and a full account of events leading up to the downburst.
